      How do I integrate tools with HubSpot?

      1. Choose a route

        • Native integration (via App Marketplace): Click “Install,” authorize access, map fields, and configure.
        • Connector/iPaaS: Use platforms like Zapier, Unito, or Make for two-way syncs and deeper automation.
        • Custom integration: For unique workflows, use HubSpot’s API or hire a developer.

      2. Map your data

        • Decide which fields sync (e.g. contact properties, deal stages)
        • Choose sync direction: one-way vs. two-way

      3. Test

        • Run test records
        • Check sync accuracy and flow
        • Monitor for duplicates or errors

      4. Monitor and maintain

        • Regularly audit syncs
        • Update mappings when data needs or tools change

      Best practice integrations

      • Slack: Get instant notifications when a lead becomes sales-qualified.
      • Mailchimp: Sync lists and email activity via Zapier.
      • Google Sheets: Push HubSpot data into sheets or reports.
      • Unito:  Two-way sync HubSpot with Asana, Trello, Jira, etc.
      • Google Search Console: See keyword performance in HubSpot SEO tools.
      • Databox / Power BI: Embed dashboards directly in HubSpot.

      How to choose the right integration approach

      • Need speed? Use native or connector integrations.
      • Need control? Use API-based or custom builds.
        Need two-way sync? Rely on iPaaS tools like Zapier or Unito.
      • Watch your budget: Native is often free; connectors may have subscription fees.
